How are people managing job searching these days? I’ve applied to about 20 jobs and have solid experience but it’s been really quiet. I live in NYC and haven’t heard anything

If all you're doing is applying to posted jobs, you're going to have a very long search.

The best way to get a new job is through networking, researching companies you want to work for, and ensuring that your resume isn't a simple copy-and-paste of your job descriptions but rather a list of your achievements and contributions to the success of the organization (including your clients if you have them).

If you're on LinkedIn, leverage the network you have there. Use it to look up companies you're interested in working at and see if anyone in your network, even a 2nd-level connection, works or worked there, then reach out to them to see if they can help you get a foot in the door at that organization.

get this. The market is slow right now. I would mix applications with direct outreach, otherwise it feels like shouting into a void.

Job market is very worst these days even say forever !

I started applying last week and 3 of the jobs I had refferals but it’s been SO quiet. Normally with referrals I would hear something. What’s an average timeline 3 weeks?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
